Weegy: You are not. HAng out with your friends or family members User: Why dont I like my Family User: why dont i remember my child hood Weegy: The brain tends to record significant events and the more significant the event, the longer the memory lasts. What is memory-significant for one person is not for another. [ Old friends will remind us of shared events or comments while we may have no recollection of the incident. For whatever reason, the event was significant for them…but not for us. Happy childhoods are typically happy most of the time and for that reason, the threshold for what’s significant is higher. What you are experiencing is not unusual and it doesn’t suggest that you have blocked memories or have any “deep” psychological concerns associated with your past. Most folks don’t have a lot of memory under the age of 10 years other than what you describe.
Another factor, however, is the ability of the brain to recall our memories. It’s the difference between the library and the librarian. Having an efficient concentration and focus system is having a great librarian who can find, recall, and organize our memories. Stress, for example, makes our mental librarian very inefficient and produces problems with recalling memories. ] (More)
